Eddie, First, frames are finally dying out, (thank goodness), so I wouldn't even consider them (but since you don't like them anyway, no worries!). Second, layers are definitely more flexible, in that you can place them wherever you want. However, when doing this, you can run into alignment problems you wouldn't get using tables. Also, some browsers are very finicky when it comes to layer positions, and you may find your layers shift locations when viewed on different platforms. I've found tables to be a more stable way of laying out pages, and do not involve checking as many settings to ensure the position. - JB
